      Legit, I would've just said "Ah, dumb dumb that I am, I forgot I'm supposed to be going to Strasbourg." "And what about your friend?" "He forgot something back at our hotel, so he's going back for it while I go ahead."
      Or something far less sketchy sounding than "... We're playing a game."

    While i love the fact that their finally doing tag across Europe again as it was indeed my favorite series, i think they should have at least changed up the locations up a bit to make it a bit different.
    I think they should keep the same format but change up the start and end locations, you know like starting off in a more central location like Switzerland instead, with end locations in France, Germany and Italy i think would make for a much more interesting and varied gameplay experience.
    instead of it just being predominantly concentrated in France.
    So its not just the same dozen locations in France and we get to see more interesting forms of transport and across many different countries in Europe with their own unique transportation systems, make the game more interesting that way. It is called Tag Across *Europe* after all.

    • @jkhoover
      @jkhoover 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +26

      They explain in the podcast why they didn't. Mostly, they just wanted to see how round 2 went, after they've already had a full season of experience under their belt. Also, they didn't say this, but I'm sure they picked the best 3 points that are the farthest and most even apart the first time, not knowing that they would revisit eventually.

    • @mehdibakhtar2497
      @mehdibakhtar2497 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      ​​​​​@@nathanvrvrt I'm really not sure about this idea...
      The problem with it is that if they start the game already away from each other, the 2 chasers wouldn't be together to strategize which is inconvenient and the person starting as runner would have a massive advantage (since 2 players are supposed to start in less isolated cities, it would be really easy for them to just take 2 or 3 trains and maybe 1 bus straight to the center without any risk of being caught because the other 2 players are too far to even cut off the third one). Additionally, if they had to each come back to their starting position after each tag, it would take them hours to "reset" to their initial positions while the game is paused and only then would the game be able to unpause so it wouldn't be as dynamic/fluid. Overall, if this idea was done on this big map with those key locations, the game would be very unbalanced and less entertaining. Although, on a smaller map, with a small headstart for the chasers, and with more reliable ways of transportation less subject to delays, it could be good.
      Starting at the center with a headstart for the runner makes the game more challenging, players have to be in a rush much more, they have more occasions to catch up to or tag each other which creates tense moments for the audience, it also keeps the game shorter without spending too much budget in the process which is ideal for production.

      I think they should keep the same format but change up the start and end locations, you know like starting off in a more central location like Switzerland instead, with end locations in France, Germany and Italy i think would make for a much more interesting and varied gameplay experience.
      instead of it just being predominantly concentrated in France.
      So its not just the same dozen locations in France and we get to see more interesting forms of transport and across many different countries in Europe with their own unique transportation systems, make the game more interesting that way. It is called Tag Across *Europe* after all.

    • @mehdibakhtar2497
      @mehdibakhtar2497 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      The thing is that
      1) Trains cover more distance over time (since they're faster) while not being incredibly expensive like planes and that's what they need to either get away from the chasers or closer to their target destinations (train stations are often conveniently spread and often go outward from Paris).
      2) They pay transportation by the minute which means that the runner can't afford to use bus or taxi for very long distances because the chasers do not need to spend any coins to travel.
      3) The situations in which bus or taxi are interesting are the ones when they need to go to an intermediate train station to take a different train line. There is no interest for the runner to take a taxi or a bus to a really isolated place, they need to go from transportation hub to transportation hub to win. Not to mention that bus aren't everywhere in France and their correct departure time tables aren't as easy to find as the trains.

    Tag across Europe was one of my favorites, so I’m happy to see it revisited. Hopefully, someone will get at least close to their destination this time.

    This is gonna be another binge for me.
    Absolutely love these series.
    Wish you would do this in Scandinavia at one point :)
    Maybe start in Copenhagen or Oslo.
    If it started in Oslo one person would have to go to Stockholm, another to Copenhagen and the last to maybe Bodø in Northern Norway or something like that.

    23:30 will be very impressed if ep.2 doesn't have the French police waiting at Strasbourg with some questions over the "I caught my friend... he has to stay here for a while" sequence 😂

      Would be amusing, but I doubt it. If anyone would be worried they would've just called the station to inquire about any corpses

      Man, everybody loves tag, but Battle America was my favorite season. Guess I'm the weirdo.
